The Meaning of Looking and Waiting in the Verses of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Between the thing. How it was revealed between His saying, the Exalted: "Will the Messenger of Allah not hear"
The Shaykh:
They are veiled in the Fire, and may Allah protect us from that. They are veiled from seeing the clear vision and will never see Him. As for seeing Him from Him, it is only for the Arabs if this is established. If it is established, it is not a vision of honor, but a general vision in which the creation see Him, Glorified and Exalted is He, including the disbelievers and others. It is not a vision of honor or knowledge. Yes.
The questioner:
That they be, except that Allah takes them in the raid and the angels,
The Shaykh:
They do not look. Also, it is looking with the eyes. "They look" means they wait for Him. This is from waiting. Like His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Hadid 57:13] meaning, wait for us until we take from your light. The hypocrites will be in darkness and the believers in light, walking toward Allah to the gathering place in light, and the hypocrites will be in darkness struggling. They will say to the believers, "Do not hasten; wait for us until we take from your light and be illuminated by your light, and we will not struggle on our path." So does "they look" mean they do not wait? Yes. No.
